    Not sure if this is the correct forum
    MODS: feel free to move to correct place.

    My question is.
    Someone is charged with a crime.
    Gardai cease their passport and any other photo ID they have (Driving Licence etc.)
    They must sign on at their local station twice a day.
    Trial comes and there is a hung jury.
    DPP decide (after a long time) to retry the case.
    They still sign on twice a day after court case
    When they set the date it will be 7 years from the date of the charge/crime.
    Thats 7 years of not leaving the county or country.

    Is this an infringement on a persons human rights?
    (btw it's not me)

    Any more info needed?

    A person in such a position will likely have legal advisers in respect of the charge, a solicitor and usually one or two barristers. Such a person should contact such a solicitor with a view to seeing if such actions would cause such a breach of rights.
